`window.history.back` doesn't work in phonegap applications
after a page refresh, though it does work under hashchange/replacestate.
The solution is to use their `navigator.app.backHistory` method
along with a configuration option. The reasoning for the option
is to prevent any corner cases popping up with existing phonegap
applications. Forward history movement for the same usecase is _not_
addressed but remains an even lower priority.
